The Elephant & Castle is a charming family run pub on the edge of Hurst village, just a few miles from Reading. It is fast becoming a pub that is at the heart of village life and the warm, welcoming atmosphere reaches the neighbouring villages in Berkshire and beyond.The fireside bar is warm and welcoming with old beams, comfortable sofas and an open fire, where one can enjoy a relaxing bar meal or just sit comfortably sipping a pint of local real ale, or glass of pinot. For families we have the garden bar which is ideal for sports and a game of pool, or for the visiting family, as it leads out to the beautiful patio and decked area. There’s even a separate children’s garden!Whether it’s a light bite, special meal for two, family gathering or even just a short stop for coffee while walking the dog – The Elephant and Castle has something special to suit all tastes.Pennie is well known locally for her genuinely homemade food and she takes great pride in her homemade fare of beer- battered fish, beef & horseradish pies, sea food platters, Madras Burgers plus many more tempting offers, which are all freshly made, cooked and prepared on the premises.
